@dicknixon.bsky.social often jokes about colonels getting ideas, but if those colonels aren't getting paid........

Excellent article about how LLMs perform their feats of "magic" by exploiting the same psychological hacks that psychics do when performing cold readings. ::Chefs kiss:: softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...

New post: "Why are young women increasingly left-wing?" There's been a lot of focus on young men + the right but less on this much bigger political shift amongst young women. Why is it happening? How could it change politics? (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/w...

Jofra!!

I wrote about the Grok Situation

Read 4 different books on the US Civil War (I'm English).

@firdosem.bsky.social with a really great piece on Bavuma and South African cricket and some of what today all means. www.espncricinfo.com/story/temba-...

I had a joke about Theseus but it's kinda changed over the years.

Would I be the 1st or the 1000th person to suggest Manchild v Maneater now that Sabrina has dropped another banger @alinaisyou.bsky.social @shadowtodd.bsky.social ?

Drop some Ships (Serenity 2005)

I don't believe in gatekeeping knowledge.

“Yippee ki-yay…” We are excited to tell everyone that Westminster Council decided on May 1st that the Prince Charles Cinema would be included in the list of Assets of Community Value maintained by the Council under section 87 of the Localism Act 2011.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

On common sense.

"We're hacking the Gibson. You in?"

There is no dignity in losing civil rights you hack scum

Autistic man, Dexter Livingstone, 38, commented: “25 hours? Is that it? I did 36 hours on the Battle of Stalingrad last week and no one put me on the news.” (Special thanks to @jonhalling.bsky.social for the headline)

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

this story has some incredible details, but this one stood out for me www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

I bet poor @edzitron.com feels awful now Meta has revealed this and stunned the tech world with how amazing this looks and how ordinary people will be spending thousands of hours in the metaverse any minute now......

I really don't think anyone who wants privacy so should contact you via your X account.....

idk Boimler just seems like he’d do this #LowerDecks #fanart #comic

Was wondering what was wrong with @edzitron.com he seemed so fired up and a bit rambling in this week's better offline. Realised my Spotify had started playing at 1.2 speed. Not enough to immediately clock something was wrong but enough to be unsettling....

Lower Decks really does get better and better with each viewing. I will 100 percent be buying the complete lot on blu ray if they bring that set out in the UK. #lowerdecks

@sararoseg.bsky.social wait did the daily tism handle change?

gave it a happy ending

As if Lower Decks the show wasn't amazing enough, I also got Lower Decks: Warp your own Way for Christmas and wow what a great, clever, graphic novel. Really makes the absolute most of its genre. Thanks @ryannorth.ca , and also thank you my wife for buying it for me.

Over 2+ years of working on a biography of Elon Musk, I've learned that his ambitions are significantly grander than anyone realizes. He wants to be the first trillionaire ever. He wants to be the most famous human who ever lived. He wants to rule the world. He wants to live forever. All literally.

Hi to all the Bluesky newcomers! I’m Kat and I make videos explaining the right-wing media ecosystem — especially Fox News and insane grifter rabbitholes. Here’s where you can find my videos that are longer than a minute: linktr.ee/katmabu

that just made it worse!!

Now that Musk is a shadow govt: Here’s the single best, most perceptive commentary I’ve ever read that perfectly *nails* all of the psychological angst & resentment at the heart of Musk’s purchase of Twitter, & in the hearts of his fanboys, from @amandamarcotte.bsky.social in Salon bit.ly/3CuWjyf

It's helpful that in Maine the decision to disqualify Trump was made by the Sec. of State, chosen by the legislature. It neutralizes complaints about the courts, and arguably neutralizes the "political question" dodge. The two states now presenting the issue got there through different procedures.

Fantastic, edifying work here by @Hbomberguy. If you've felt like YouTube recs are getting buried under plagarized goop, you're right, this explains it. youtu.be/yDp3cB5fHXQ?...
